Abstract

With the increasing use of PV cells in power system, optimal utilization of the equipment is an important issue. In these systems the MPPT controller is used to inject the maximum available power from solar energy. During day time that the active power decreases because of low intensity, the inverter is capable of injecting reactive power up to its nominal capacity and this is a chance for reactive power compensation. In this paper the aim is to propose a control method for injecting the maximum active power and if possible, the reactive power. In addition, a low pass filter is suggested to solve the problem of current fluctuations in case of unbalanced load. Simulation results on a typical system in MATLAB indicate proper performance of the presented method.
